Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 199 New Residents

Fangting City outer ring, villa area.

When the girls pushed open the door together and stepped into the entrance hall, the first person to make a sound was Mu Lily, who was walking at the front of the crowd.

"What's going on? It's so big!"

Although it was a meaningless sigh, it could represent the true thoughts of the people in Bai'an City.

The four-story single-family villa is indeed much larger in space than the second floor of the piano store where the magical girls in Bai'an City gather.

"Why is your secret base so big? Bribery?"

Mu Baihe got into the entrance and looked around. After looking around, she finally lost her curiosity and turned back to Lin Xiaolu and asked, "Or is this your family's property?"

"No matter how you think about it, it can't be a bribe." Lin Xiaolu was a little helpless, "This is the venue that Delphinium found through negotiation with the Strange Strategy Bureau."

"Did the inspector do it? Ah, so that's it. It's not surprising when you think about it."

The existence of the foreign policy bureaus in each city will be different. Some exist openly as government agencies like those in Fangting City, and some disguise themselves as other organizational forms. The foreign policy bureaus in Bai'an City exist in different ways. The Bureau is an underground organization in the physical sense.

Lin Xiaolu looked at the other party seriously, "How far did the battle go?"

Shocked by the other party's directness, Bai Ji nodded belatedly and couldn't help but cover her mouth: "I'm very sorry. I subconsciously felt that this was something not worth spreading. I didn't mean to hide it."

"So, did you fight?" Lin Xiaolu asked rather abruptly.

Lin Xiaolu responded indifferently, "As for you, is there no problem if everyone comes to Fangting City? What will you do with the beasts over there in the city?"

"I have faced death since my first battle as a magical girl. I know the feeling of fear and the pain of failure. If I want to wake up, I have already done it."

As she muttered this answer, Lin Xiaolu's eyes flashed slightly: "...I have gone to fight."

"Black Ember Dawn?" Lin Xiaolu spent a little time digesting the information in the other party's words, tilted her head, and came to a conclusion that pointed to the center of the contradiction.

Because of this, neither Aso Maruka nor Deng Zhan made such a request.

"Have you never fought?"

Bai Ji explained: "And our city... something happened a while ago. At least now, during this period, the frequency of beasts appearing in the city is very low, so there is no need for so many magical girls. "

——Don’t say such stupid things in front of outsiders.

"Huh? Ah, it doesn't matter. The place is pretty empty anyway."

It is indeed much more difficult for an organization with such a style of work to set up a large-scale operation base belonging to a magical girl in the city, and to find a way to conceal all the details.

Although the truth is that she has not negotiated this matter, the existence of Bai'an City's Strategy Bureau is quite different from that of Fangting City's Strategy Bureau. For the Fangting City Foreign Policy Bureau, purchasing a property is just a piece of cake; but for the Bai'an City Foreign Policy Bureau, although it is not impossible, the process will be a lot of trouble.

So now, there is a strange situation: obviously in terms of experience in magical girl affairs, the Bai'an City team is the more experienced party, but after seeing the luxurious hardware facilities of the Fangting City team, From now on, it would be like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, asking this and that from time to time.

"Don't worry about this. Although I am very ashamed, there is still a senior certified by the brand name who will continue to be stationed in our team."

Regardless of the distribution of personnel or geographical location, the Bai'an City Foreign Policy Bureau is completely located "underground". Although it has been carrying out activities in Bai'an City, it will try its best to erase the traces of its activities in the city.

"Why can't I take the qualification certification exam next year if I can't beat you?"

"Ah...well, that's right. You guys in Fangting City have encountered her before."

"I fought 'Moth'...and that smelly old woman."

Bai Ji lowered his eyes slightly: "After the patrol envoy came to our city, she found an enemy that we had never found before. Then, according to the seniors of our team, she almost killed the black man instantly. The Ember Guards of Ember Dawn. We couldn’t help, we didn’t even play the role of ‘bystanders’, we were just insiders.”

"So, what kind of qualities do you have, and why do you want to be our 'pre-examination'?"

Mu Lily nodded understandingly, "But your teacher can arrange such a grand event and live in such a luxurious base, but we can still only huddle in the music store after school every day like girls from an outside band. Looking at us like this The teacher really doesn’t... huh? "

Although he didn't make a sound, Bai Ji's eyes revealed this meaning.

Her words spoke loud and clear.

Bai Ji, who has always behaved like a leader, was still very polite even at this time and thanked Lin Xiaolu, "I may take up part of your space for a period of time. If it brings you any trouble, I'll give it to you first." I apologize to you.”

"Huh?" Bai Ji was a little puzzled by the words of the person in front of him.

"...In terms of fighting, unfortunately, we did not directly fight the cadres of Black Ember Dawn."

"Then I will choose this room. Thank you very much for your hospitality."

Before she could finish her words, Bai Ji covered her mouth.

Bai Ji was the last one in the team to choose a room, so after everyone else went to do their own business, she and Lin Xiaolu were the only two people left in front of this empty room.

"Hit?" Bai Ji was puzzled.

"Black Ember Dawn, did you fight them?"

In fact, to say that Maruka Aso is useless in this regard, or that she has not contributed, is indeed to blame her and Bai'an City's foreign policy bureau.

However, it is precisely because they are so hidden that no one even knew about the Black Ember Dawn. In a sense, they shot themselves in the foot.

The four-story villa has a lot of space, and there are still many rooms that were originally vacant. It is no problem to accommodate a few more people, so soon, the magical girls of the Bai'an City team also picked out rooms and took them with them. The luggage was moved here.

However, her expression has always been a bit gloomy.

Lin Xiaolu stared at the opponent: "Although she is no match at all, even though she was really beaten badly, even I feel that I am just a burden to Delphinium on the battlefield, but I have fought with her."

Bai Jingxuan was responsible for going to the underground training ground to arrange the training space for others, while Xia Liang dragged Mo Ke to prepare for the next dinner. The task of showing the Bai'an City team around the room naturally fell on Lin Xiaolu.

They may have to stay here for the next period of time.

Because there was no one else around, there was a slight echo in the corridor as Lin Xiaolu's words fell.

The two of them were located on the south side of the corridor on the fourth floor. The slanting sunlight cast several shadows on Lin Xiaolu's face. Combined with her serious expression, the atmosphere between them suddenly became a little tense.

Bai Ji loosened her grip on the suitcase slightly.

"Are you talking about what the teacher said to you after the concert?" She looked as usual and seemed not to be affected by Lin Xiaolu's questioning at all: "If you are unhappy because of those words, I apologize to you, because She is indeed an outspoken person, and most of the time what she says is not nice to hear.”

"Does it sound like I'm asking for an apology?" Lin Xiaolu frowned slightly.

"Sorry, I don't quite understand." Bai Ji shook his head, "Maybe I didn't understand what you meant."

"What I need is an explanation."

Lin Xiaolu took a step forward and put her hands on her hips: "That woman...your teacher, why did she say that?"

"Are you saying, 'You can't go to qualifications without beating us'?"

Bai Ji let go of the suitcase and stood upright: "Or does she think that the Fangting City team cannot defeat the Bai'an City team?"

Lin Xiaolu hummed softly: "Both".

"As for the first thing, it's actually a bit troublesome to explain, because this is inside information that only our teachers can tell."

After looking at Lin Xiaolu calmly, Bai Ji stated in a calm voice: "Next year's qualification certification exam may be a little different from previous years. If you are not strong enough, your life will really be in danger."

"This is not the first time our Bai'an City team has participated in the qualification certification, and everyone holds a white card. We are witnesses of the assessment. If you fight with us, you can roughly judge your own strength. If you can't win, , it’s better to stay away from the edge and wait for another year to take the exam.”

"...According to you, stopping us from taking the assessment is actually good for us?"

Lin Xiaolu asked: "Because it will be very dangerous, so if you can't guarantee your life safety, don't go. Is that what you mean?"

"According to my theory, yes."

Bai Ji continued to explain: "This is just a conclusion based on the information the teacher told me. If you want to get the real answer, you'd better ask her herself."

"'Be good to us' is speculation..."

Lin Xiaolu raised her head slightly: "Then, what does 'The Fangting City team cannot defeat the Bai'an City team' mean?"

"These are her exact words." Bai Ji responded with a polite smile, "Of course, this does not include our teachers and seniors, it only refers to us new generations."

"You said, the exact words?"

Lin Xiaolu's eyes widened.

"Yes, although I don't know your strength, I trust the teacher's judgment." Bai Ji added.

"...I should have told you just now, right? Everyone in our Fangting City team has fought against the cadres of Black Ember Dawn." Lin Xiaolu whispered.

"Yes, it must have been a very difficult and tragic battle. I admire it very much." Bai Ji responded.

"I said, although I really couldn't match him at all, at least that day, when I stood in front of that person for the sake of this city, I definitely didn't regret it because I might die next."

"I can understand that."

"Since it is understandable, then, you, even when your city is facing the biggest crisis, you failed to find the enemy, failed to fight, failed to protect, a team like you..."

Lin Xiaolu took a step forward again: "Where do you get the qualifications to look down on us here?"

There was silence in the corridor for a moment.

Lin Xiaolu stared at Bai Ji with a serious face, while Bai Ji still looked at him calmly, but the polite smile that originally hung on the corner of his mouth had disappeared.

"You really said very harsh words, Miss Bai Mei." She said after a while, "Do you know that although what you just said is true, it is actually not suitable to say it now?"

"Just call me Lin Xiaolu."

Lin Xiaolu pouted: "Delphite said that the codename of a magical girl is a title that only companions can use to call each other."

"...That's so rude, Lin Xiaolu, you are indeed a very interesting person."

Bai Ji did not lose her temper because of the other party's thorny words, but nodded again: "I wonder where I offended you and made you so hostile to me?"

"I do not know."

Lin Xiaolu said frankly: "Although I don't know, I just feel uncomfortable talking to you. I always feel that you are scolding me in my heart."

Bai Ji was speechless for a moment.

After another long while, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth and returned to her previous calm appearance: "So that's it. I apologize to you. Maybe it's because the teacher told me on the way here that you are the leader of the new generation in Fangting City. , which caused some deviation in my impression of you.”

"If you really feel that there is an intention to look down on you in my words, then I apologize to you once again. I am really sorry."

"To express my sincere gratitude to you, please allow me to propose a compensation to you to make up for the relationship between us, how about it?"

This suggestion made Lin Xiaolu hesitate.

"...What compensation?"

"You think there is something wrong with the teacher's judgment and you will not lose to us. Although I believe the teacher, I also want to verify whether this conclusion is true."

Bai Ji put a hand on his chest, and the heart gem glowed slightly: "How about we have a small competition here in private?"

"Competition?" Lin Xiaolu finally showed her first smile since meeting Bai Ji, but there was no friendly element in the smile at all: "How do you want to compete?"

"It's very simple."

The light of the Heart Gem in his hand gradually grew until it covered his whole body. Bai Ji directly completed the transformation and appeared in front of Lin Xiaolu in his transformed appearance. Then he stretched out his right hand and placed it in front of Lin Xiaolu.

"Without any magic, this is a sphere made only of my magic power."

As she spoke, a small magic ball appeared in the palm of her hand, "It is very simple. It just puts the magic power together to form this shape. There is no fancy style inside. It is an ordinary magic ball that looks the same on the inside. ”

"Then what?" Lin Xiaolu unequivocally touched the gem of her heart.

"Then, make a magic ball of yours. Use your magic ball to defeat my magic ball."

Bai Ji still looked calm, but the words he spoke had nothing to do with "peace":
——"Or, be defeated by my magic ball."
